The image does not show the text that is usually in the lower third (maybe it is a print proof).
Julius Kurth wrote a different description on the back: "Ehon asaka yama / 1739"
Richard Lane says that there is an re-edition from 1742 with the title "Jokyo bunsho kagami".

The complete double-page from the ehon with text.



A single print, attributed to Sukenobu.
